fan of 9mm 1911s If you have tried a 1911 in 45 acp, you'll love one in 9mm Less recoil for easier control, good to great single action triggers.. lower ammo cost - shoot more! I tried one, now I've got 3.. last/best? A SS Springfield Loaded Target (in 9mm).. too much fun to shoot.

have both.. Wanted a Sig 226 for almost 20 years before I found a nice, used, reasonably priced one. Mine's a W.German version. After shooting it awhile, I added several other Sigs to the collection, a 220, then a GSR 1911, then finally a 232. One thing I've learned is there seems to be 2...

Thank you.. Driftwood Johnson for taking the time & effort to do this thread. Can't imagine the time spent taking incredibly sharp photos, writing detailed comparisons of parts, and responding to questions as well. Your effort is appreciated. As an owner of a Model 617, I'd wanted a K-22, or...

the real question.. should be What round can you shoot most accurately ? Have you tried different brands, & bullet weights to determine which is your best brand/ weight for accuracy ? What some else, or someone elss gun, shoots well may have little to do with what you can shoot...

Silvertip availibility after making above post, went to Midway to see if the are still made. They have component bullets..all on backorder actually says "out of stock-no backorder" for loaded rounds, Had 380 in stock, & though calibers 32, 9mm, 38, 38 super, 357, 40, 41 Mag, 44 spec &...

Silvertips.. As a long time handloader, I rarely shoot factory ammo . Reading the advertisements for the Silvertips, I noticed the rounds used lighter than usual bullet weights. Made a mental note to keep an eye out & see if Win. started offering the Silvertip bullets for sale as a Hand...

Ruger Security Six I have 2 of them I purchased brand new..back in the early 80's, if I remember correctly. I bought the 2 3/4" & 6" barrel lengths. Wish I'd sprung for a 4" as well. They were being sold @ close-out prices, as Ruger was introducing the GP 100 as it's replacement. What wasn't...

Revolvers.. As others have mentioned S&W & Ruger are best choices, though in your price range, may have to settle for a used one. Not a real problem as there are plenty of old used revolvers that are still great pistols.The Ruger Speed Six (fixed sight) and Security Six (adj. rear sight) in...

"let her pick" Hopefully there's a range near you that will allow her to rent a pistol & try it out before purchasing one... My only caution would be as JeeperCreeper said, those small lightweight pistols that feel so nice in the hand are not so great to shoot.As he said in his post , these...

depends.. Do you want the gun for fashion ? or are you going to shoot it ? If it's a fashion accessory, go with a Colt SAA or copy.. If you want to shoot it..go with a Ruger Vaquero, is styled to look like a Colt, but is much more robust, with improved (more reliable) lockwork...

so many for a single action Revolver - Ruger Vaquero 44 mag stainless 5.5" Dbl action -S&W model 29 in Royal blue finish autoloader..traditional Colt Goldcup polished blue modern Sig Sauer X-5 & if $$$ isn't a problem..any Cabot 1911 would make me very happy, esp. a...

forgot to mention.. If you haven't used Gunwatcher.com to look @ prices for particular firearms, they're a good resourse, & can save you money. Out of Curiosity, I just checked S/A R.o. prices.. SPRINGFIELD 1911-A1 RANGE OFFICER 45ACP PARKERIZED $719.99 Sportsman Outdoor...

a suggestion.. based on my experience, I'd stay away from a GI model 1911,as a first 1911.. only because the sights are so small, they make shooting it more challanging than need be..a RIA 1911 Tactical, would be a better choice, as it's got many extras you'll later end up spending $ on...

Happy to find this thread.. My supplies of HP-38 and Titegroup have been getting low, as I spend cold winter days getting empty cases ready for nicer weather. Back in '87 or '88, I'd found a metal canister of reddot in my parent's basement (friend of my Dad's had sold him)& a Mec 600 & some...

CCI spp Guy that taught me to handload (back in the mid-late 70's) used CCI primers. Bought my own press (Dillon 450) late 70's & quickly learned the economy of buying in bulk..;) Still have some magnum pistol primers & rifle primers I purchased back then (all CCI).:eek: In the past decade, I...

this should make some of you feel better.. A small shop that I visit on occasion had a couple of 8# containers of 231 for sale, in their small powder cabinet.. I was going to pick one up, 'till I saw the price...$299.00 :what: I kid you not..:fire: it's been a few weeks, they might still be...

HS-6 comments I started using HS-6 in my Glock 22 @ the suggestion of my bullet caster.. Having read about the Ka-booms from shooting cast bullets in Glock factory barrels, I bought a Lone Wolf barrel, for peace of mind..I prefer the profile of Penn Bullets cast bullets over most others.. many...
